Nature Emporium

The Denali Highway Cabins gift shop - a plethora of fun items for nature and Alaska enthusiasts.

Below is a representative sample of some of our wares.

Birders alert! Our beloved caps and t-shirts
T-shirts are a nine-color rendition by famed Alaskan bird artist George West of one of the most sought-after Denali Highway denizens, the Smith's Longspur. Super heavyweight, 100% cotton.
Caps are heavy-duty & stiff-brimmed, with embroidered Smith's Longspurs.

"The Denali Hwy Cabins t-shirt is really well done. I haven't seen many t-shirts with such delicate shading. Thanks once again." -David Martin, 2007 cabin guest

Alaska wildlife sculptures
By one of our favorite artists, bronzed stainless steel standing sculptures and hanging ornaments. Moose, grizzly bear, and salmon are sculpted in three-dimensional form, making for fun and beautiful interpretations of these favorite Denali Highway residents.

Denali Jenny's homemade soaps and bath salts
Blueberry & raspberry soap, polar bear soap, men's soap, bug-repellant soap, and more. All soaps are made with all-natural ingredients, with real berry seeds and dried berries for rich colors.

Your hosts' nature photography
Didn't get that camera out on time? Do moose keep hiding behind willow bushes? If your own camera isn't cooperating for fantastic wildlife shots, let Audie's and Jenny's pictures be your keepsakes. As we are resident year-round on the Denali Highway, our cameras are always capturing the animals, birds, flora, and landscapes of this magnificent country.

A must for any practicing or budding naturalist!
The American Birding Association's A Birder's Guide to Alaska, is the most comprehensive, detailed, and respected guide to birding throughout the state. Your host, Dr. Audubon L. Bakewell IV, is one of the contributing authors, penning the Denali Highway chapter and one of the Richardson Highway chapters. Each Birder's Guide purchased in our nature emporium is autographed by Dr. Bakewell.

Our perennial best-sellers: Puppets!
From one of the best puppet companies, comes our full-line of Alaskan finger & hand puppets. Irresistibly cute, highly well-made, and too fun to resist, our puppets are easy to pack and sure to please. We have finger & hand puppets in the following animals: harbor seal (above, with Audie), raven (also above, on his shoulder), river otter, sea otter, wolf, grizzly bear, eagle, snowy owl, beluga whale, beaver, porcupine, and woolly mammoth!

Bird-friendly, shadegrown, organic coffee
